Manuel said that Prime Minister Mladen Ivanic, president of the
Republika Srpska Assembly Dragan Kalinic and other officials came
to Kosovo on Tuesday and Wednesday unannounced and when the KFOR
realised that these were high ranking politicians from the Bosnian
Serb entity, they were sent back because they had not received
approval to escort the delegation.
Manuel said that visits to Kosovo were being approved by the U.N.
Headquarters.
This scandalous behaviour by UNMIK officials and the KFOR towards
members of a high ranking delegation from the Republika Srpska
incited justified revolt amongst the Serb community considering
this was an announced visit of which the international community
had been advised, the Raska-Prizren Eparchy claimed on Wednesday.
